New Shoes Installed

Having received some negative feedbacks on Continentals that came with the car, I decided to make a switch . I thought it were a bit premature change but for gods sake we are driving a W212 and sometimes that noise broked up the party lol
I have read good reviews on Continentals Extreme Contact DWS but being a Michelin lover I made up my decision on the Michelin Primacy .
Result ? Very satisfying and no more road , tire noise . Michelin is verily very comfy and ride quality also slightly seems improved over the Continentals that were factory tires

I had put the ContiExtreme DW summer-tire-only on my '08 RWD and I didn't notice any undue noise. They handled my aggressive driving with aplomb and take it from me, they go fast in the wet very well.
